As the West Bengal Assembly elections draw near, BJP MP Anurag Thakur slammed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, accusing her government of failing to maintain law and order in the state. Thakur expressed concerns about the safety of individuals in West Bengal, emphasizing the need for a political change.
Thakur alleged that Mamata Banerjee’s administration has been protecting illegal activities, including Bangladeshi infiltrators, fake currency networks, and individuals involved in fraudulent Aadhaar card schemes. He also criticized the government for allegedly favoring corrupt individuals over the state’s own citizens in terms of job opportunities.
Highlighting the Centre’s efforts under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Thakur praised various welfare schemes that have empowered women and uplifted the underprivileged. He specifically mentioned initiatives such as LPG connections, tap water, free foodgrains, healthcare, and sanitation, which have positively impacted around 25 crore people.
Thakur reiterated the government’s commitment to implementing the proposed 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies before the 2029 elections. A special Parliament session is scheduled for April 16-18 to advance constitutional amendments for women’s reservation and increase the Lok Sabha’s capacity to accommodate the change.
